c# - How to call function on timer ASP.NET MVC -

i need call function on timer (lets onticktack() function) , reload info in asp.net mvc project. know there several ways that, 1 best opinion?

note: function should called 1 place only, , should called every x mins till application up.

edit 1: reload info - example have in cache , want update db on timer - once day in time.

the answer question depend on mean reload info in asp.net mvc project. not stated problem , such, more obviously, cannot have stated answer.

so if assume want periodically poll controller action , update information on view use setinterval javascript function periodically poll server sending ajax request , update ui:

window.setinterval(function() {     // send ajax request every 5s poll changes , update ui     // example jquery:     $.get('/foo', function(result) {         // todo: use results returned controller action         // update ui     }); }, 5000); 

if on other hand mean executing task on server @ regular periods use registerwaitforsingleobject method this:

var waithandle = new autoresetevent(false); threadpool.registerwaitforsingleobject(     waithandle,      // method execute     (state, timeout) =>      {         // todo: implement functionality want executed         // on every 5 seconds here         // important remark: method runs on worker thread drawn          // thread pool used service requests         // make sure method returns fast possible or         // jeopardizing worker threads catastrophic          // in web application. make sure don't sleep here , if         // perform i/o intensive operation make sure use asynchronous         // api , io completion ports increased scalability     },      // optional state object pass method     null,      // execute method after 5 seconds     timespan.fromseconds(5),      // set false execute repeatedly every 5 seconds     false ); 

if mean else, don't hesitate provide more details question.
